As a Californian, ensconced again in the mid-Atlantic, I take Autumn to my heart as the season that skips the western littoral altogether, except for the knowing gardener's eye (it is the harbinger of our greening, on the Coast). I find the choice between Autumn and no Autumn unacceptable, even as I find the choice between Pacific and no Pacific unacceptable. Any region or elevation can be cold, and we can arrange that in California; any region can be hot, and we can arrange that in Virginia, almost infamously. But the transitional seasons hoist the heart, and Twombly comes into his own in this one.

HOW THEY DECORATED

now available at Amazon

My book HOW THEY DECORATED, for Rizzoli, was published in April of 2017. I have been an interior designer for over 30 years & have an abiding passion for the original, & history. Little Augury was born on New Year's Eve 2008. It began as a way of continuing a conversation with a beloved mentor & the promise to keep just a bit of his wit & wisdom alive by sharing it whenever possible. Little Augury focuses on interior design, art, literature, fashion & social history with an eye, always looking back to the past, in hope of understanding what is authentic & what will endure & what connects us to our environment. Always listening for the footstep on the old stair-the sound of lives that walked that way.
